This is the finished version of: 'WiP: Desperation' which I posted in the DeviantArt account that I share with BdrixHaettc. This is strongly inspired by Desperation by ~CristinaPenescu.
Other then the fact that I like to do fan art and I was inspired by the above mentioned picture, there isn't much of a concept behind this. I wanted to showcase Derek's tragedy and while I was drawing this I was imagining that this was what he felt when he lost his family. A combination of gut wrenching grief but also rage, the turmoil making him roar into the night.
Unlike most of my art where I have several layers working simultaneously, I wanted to approach this more in the traditional sense even though I did everything on the computer. This meant that I started out with a blank white canvas and after sketching the initial figure, I started to work myself up (as one would with a drawing).
I did however, paint the rain in a seperate layer as I am very uncomfortable with that element and I didn't want to mess Derek up. This meant that whenever I did screw up (whiched happened more times then I care to admit) I could just delete it and start again.
Enjoy!
